The Need
/

They came up with an idea for their "Got Milk?" campaign that needed to be implemented in less than two months. Consisted of a California map that shows all social media posts from Tiktok, Instagram, and Twitter that includes their campaign hashtags. They wanted that solution to be fully configurable, from content creators, to cities and to hashtags that were used to pull up the posts from social media.

The Solution
/

It has three important applications. In the first place, we built a Spring Java server app to integrate with Data365 API to pull up the posts by location, hashtags, and content creators' usernames. We parse that data and expose it by an API to be pulled from a Gatsby.js application that was running inside a headless WordPress site to make it fully customizable. This front-end application integrates with the Mapbox library to show the California map so the user will be able to zoom in and out and navigate through the different cities to see the posts that match the campaign hashtags. The client is able to modify some Gatsby data from WordPress along with some Spring Java Middleware configuration, like hashtags to be pulled, location, and content creators' usernames along with the capability to add or remove posts that are pulled from the social media.
